So I don't think i'm actually dying as this feeling has come and gone over a few years, but more recently i've been feeling so unwell, that if I was told I am dying, I don't think i'd be surprised. Its just no quality of life.
I work full time, and I don't even know if I can continue to if I can't sort this out. I worked 8 hours today and felt so spaced out and like I could pass out at times. So tired, and my muscles, in particular my arms, feel like weights, I could barely lift something up onto a shelf. Even standing and walking about I felt off.
I am only in my early 30s, and I know this is isn't right. But doctors keep telling me i'm fine! Blood tests keep coming back 'fine'.
I've tried to explore different routes, taking vitamins, vitamin D, iron tablets from over the counter when my ferritin was low. (its now fine apparently) B12 always been fine. I've had my thyroid tested multiple times and been told 'fine' and tsh is within range. I have however been told my thyroid doesn't 'feel' right when a doctor felt it, and I should be having tests done soon.
I'm also not diabetic, as been tested a few times. I have on couple of occasions had low blood pressure, but more recently when doctors have tested it, its been fine. I've even tried to block out the idea that I feel so ill and just carry on and work through it but that hasn't helped either.
The weird thing is, there are times this comes on and I can feel this way for about a week or two, but then I can have another few weeks where I feel much better, but not at the level of energy I expect I should have. This made me wonder if it could be hormone related? But if so, what? My periods are every month as normal.
When I'm having one of these week long 'episodes', I notice the only things which make me temporarily feel better is to eat sugary foods, and/or take aspirin, paracetamol and caffeine. After a couple of hours though, I'm back to feeling horrendous.
Has anybody got any idea what the heck is wrong with me? At this point I would go private but with the cost of living rising, I really can't afford to!
I'm just miserable.
